Re: PB170 can't make bootable 400k floppies for a 128k?

i was under the impression the 400k and 800k Floppy drives are variable speed,

---( 100% Correct ) this statement is completely true

the High Density superdrive uses a fixed speed,

--- This is also True in regards to High Density Disks, There must be some

Hardware backwards compatibility that apple has specially included, to properly read and write 400k/800k disks with the superdrive...

so i would assume that making an 400k disk with an 800k drive would be fine,

--- Again 100% true

i've had issues making boot disks with the superdrive in my powermac 7500,

--- True, i have had issues making 800k boot disks with my 7500 powermac

for use with my SE, I ended up downloading the images to the zip drive, using scsi zip disk, making boot disks with 800k drive in the se,

--- again True, i did do this, and it did work...
